Attempt to adopt alarm‑business ordinance fails after tie vote
Summary
Alderman Breeden moved to reconsider a proposed alarm‑business ordinance (Bill No. 2025‑27); after reconsideration and final roll call the ordinance failed when Mayor Kevin McFadden cast the tie‑breaking nay vote.
Alderman Breeden requested reconsideration of Bill No. 2025‑27 (Alarm Business and Systems, Chapter 605). The reconsideration motion was tied and Mayor Kevin McFadden broke the tie in favor of reconsideration; the bill was then read again for final passage.
On the final roll call for Bill No. 2025‑27 (proposed Ordinance No. 1490) the votes were Kramme aye, Breeden aye, Lahmeyer nay, Bohl nay and Mayor Kevin McFadden cast a nay to break the tie. The ordinance failed.
